Lets's calculate LCM of 731,709
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 518279
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/518279
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 587/731,846/709 is 1/518279
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 731,709 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(731,709) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(731,709) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(731,709) = ( 731 × 709 ) / 1
LCM(731,709) = 518279 / 1
LCM(731,709) = 518279
